Exactly! I totally forgot about FreeRice, that was huge.

Then you went on to say "Some of us would fold for other people who wanted the extra hats (folding for others was a really big thing, and how most people got crowns and cowboy hats)." First off, I've never even heard of a Delphinoid in Pr2, the JV community, F@H, or even heard someone mention that you folded them before. Who are you?? You never introduced yourself when you first created an account on JV, 4 years ago, and even if you were a part of the community, you never told us about it. So change that "us" pronoun to "them", & get rid of that "I" pronoun because I don't believe a word you say about folding other people. I don't even think you were around back in 08-09.
So, you’re telling me that you were around during the early days of Pr2 (08-09) right? You were paying attention to how big the roster was, how many people had crowns and cowboy hats, and how many people were on the rank 50+ spectrum, right? I’m just asking you these questions because I’ve not heard mention of you being involved in the JV or PR2 community or anything back then. I was around back then, and I’ve never heard of you before. So, what was your username because you sure as hell don't have it on here?
Normally I wouldn't stoop to responding to the "who" meme, but in this case it has the potential to be super funny, as well as a nice learning experience for you.
To be clear, you're right, afaik there was no Delphinoid on PR2 or JV. I had a lot of accounts back then (I usually used alts for racing and making levels), but the one you might remember best is "Mr.Black.". I think if you ever opened the lobby chat or used the original forums there's maybe a chance you might remember me, since even saying I was "super active" on both for most of their lives is probably an understatement - I straight up no-lifed them!
I think I was probably most well-known for being one of the most active posters on JV Comics (my character was the black ghost / shadow thing with the top hat), and I also did the original design for the Gecko parts (you can see my username in the game's credits). You might also know my brother, "Tommy 8", who created the Jigg hat. Not only was I part of the community, but I think by all objective metrics I was an unusually active and well-known one, especially considering that I wasn't part of any of the cliques back then.
With that said, I don't remember anyone who went by the name of "Danger" or "Different" at any point in the community's life, and you're one of the only people on this website who claims to be an older user that I can say this about. Maybe you can see now why dismissing what someone is saying solely on the basis that they're supposedly a "nobody" is not a particularly helpful thing to do. For the record I don't doubt that you played back then, but I suspect that you were probably more a part of some clique that focused on simming rather than the broader "Jiggmin community", which I think would explain this distorted perception of the playerbase.

Thanks. As you probably noticed from what I said, I used to love chatting in PR2, but I also used to love making levels. It used to bother me that in order to make a level I had to leave the chat. The way I got around it was using an alt for making levels - "TheWindowGuy" was my main one - and then I could just have a separate window open with the chat.
